MedKoo CAT#: 565068

CAS#: 1311136-84-1

Description: AUT1 is a Kv3 potassium channel modulator which increases whole currents mediated by human Kv3.1b and Kv3.2a channels, with a concomitant leftward shift in the voltage-dependence of activation, while having a less potent effect on hKv3.3 currents.

Product Data:
Biological target: AUT1 is a Kv3 potassium channel modulator, with pEC50s of 5.33 and 5.31 for human recombinant Kv3.1b and Kv3.2a, respectively.
In vitro activity: Whole cell voltage clamp recordings were performed on DCN fusiform cells, which were held at −60 mV. Stepping to voltages above −30 mV evoked large non-inactivating outward K+ currents (Fig. 2A, current at + 0 mV = 16.54 ± 10 nA, n = 4) which were reduced by approximately 50% by the perfusion of 0.5 mM TEA (Fig. 2A , 8.1 ± 3.6 nA, n = 4, P = 0.04, paired t-test). Slices were pre-incubated with AUT1 (10 μM) for 1 h. This resulted in a 65% increase in the amplitude of the K+ current at 0 mV (Fig. 2B, Control: 6.4 ± 2.3 nA, n = 6; AUT1: 10.6 ± 6.3 nA, n = 6, P = 0.02, one-sided Mann-Whitney test).

In vivo activity: WT mice, however, that received AUT1 before amphetamine, exhibited attenuation in amphetamine-induced hyperactivity with the effects most notable at the 60 and 100 mg/kg doses. Two-way ANOVA revealed a significant main effect of treatment on locomotor activity (F(4, 67)=22.37, p<0.0001) and a genotype × treatment interaction (F(4, 67)=2.28, p=0.07; Figure 2b). At the highest dose of 100 mg/kg, AUT1 significantly decreased locomotor activity in both WT and Kv3.1-null mice before amphetamine injection, possibly indicating a nonspecific sedative effect at this dose (Figure 2a). AUT1, however, was not effective at reducing amphetamine-induced hyperactivity in mice lacking Kv3.1 channels, even at these high doses (Figure 2b and Supplementary Figure S1), arguing against a purely sedative effect. This suggests that functional Kv3.1 channels are required for the effects of AUT1 on amphetamine-induced hyperactivity. Notably, this was confirmed by repeating the experiment using Kv3.2 knockout mice where AUT1 was as effective at preventing hyperactivity as in WT mice (F(2, 24)=12.73, p=0.0002; Supplementary Figure S2). Collectively, this suggests that Kv3.1 channels (and not Kv3.2) are necessary for AUT1 mechanism of action in this model.
